Top 5 Things you definitely should not feed small children or lions:

Well you should never feed small children to lions, and you should never feed lions to small children.

BUT, you can try feeding larger children to lions (it's more of a satisfying meal) and you can try feeding a single small lion to a group of children (I don't think they'd be able to polish off more than one lion but it depends on the size of the group and the size of the children).

Small children and lions should also never eat chewing gum, or anything else that will stick to their hair or their mane - or their parents' hair or mane.

Small children and lions should never eat anything they find down the back of the couch.

Small children and lions should never eat tuna mornay. (It just tastes really gross).
